What You Heard

  • We must look like a couple of strangers
    Sitting in a quiet room
    You've been studying the patterns on the carpet
    I've been studying you
    You kept building higher walls
    I kept busting through
    We've been on this same road together
    But somehow got a different view

    I thought I was telling you I love you
    I thought I could make it up with words
    I was trying so hard to reach you, but that's not what you heard
    Oh

    I must sound like a broken old record
    Needle stuck in the groove
    Saying the same things over and over
    Trying to get a message through
    Damn, these words I've always trusted
    Wound up hurting you
    It's only in the aftermath
    We see the damage they can do

    I thought I was telling you I love you
    Thought I could make it up with words
    I was trying so hard to reach you but that's not what you heard

    Now I'm feeling every mile between us
    And I wonder if I'll ever learn
    That it doesn't matter how I mean it
    If that's not what you heard
    Oh
    Oh

    I thought I was telling you I love you
    I thought I could make it up with words
    I was trying so hard to reach you but that's not what you heard

    Now I'm feeling every mile between us
    I wonder if I'll ever learn
    That it doesn't matter how I mean it
    If that's not what you heard

    No, it doesn't matter how I mean it
    If that's what you heard
    Oh
